UnlonUlB Notes.
The comtnlttco elected by the Central
I > abor union to revise the constitution lia *
held several meetings , but on account or tha
thoroiiRh consideration it Is Riving to several
proposed changes It was compelled to only
report progress nt Iho last meeting of the
organization mid nskcil for further time ,
which was unanimously pranten.
It Is exported n procrpsslvo constitution
will be reported for ratification by thi * com
mittee , as some of the oldest and most cx-
iwrienccd members of organized labor were
elected to do ibis work.
One of the questions which is puzzllnc this
committee is to decide Just how Inr It should
< f enter Into politics. .Some of the members
lit nrovcry outspoken In favor of theoeiitrai
i * body goinc Into politics , while others main
tain that they can oxcrclsu more power and
do more good for their members by main
taining what ( tampers would call "a master-
Others favor nlcklnp out friends of labor
SL to vote and work for their success. 1 his
| f . bcinc a very ticklish subject to handle , If
W the committee's report should not bean
unanimous one , may precipitate a discussion
In the rcRUlar meeting that would cause
many "talks against time.1 Both ox Ironies
of political opinion are well represented
when a full meeting is held. U'ho general
spirit in the central body Is a demand for a
progressive constitution. Another important
subject being considered Is the making up or
the central organisation , and whether or not
It shall become- attached to the American
Federation of I/ibor. .
Before the last constitution was adopted
the central body admitted members of any
labor organization represented upon their
being -vouched for by some one present.
The visitors , of course , had no volco in the
proceedings , but this practice was not satis
factory to a majority , and the visitors were
prohibited entirely.
In the now constitution now It is proposed
to allow visitors n seat without a volco in
the proceedings , provided a delegate mem
ber of the same organization is present and
vouches for the visiting member. It is
, claimed by many that such an arrangement
would prove beneficial to all the organ
izations.

t > jn Prominent I.iicul Knlilit.
A leading member of district assembly
120 of the Knights o' Labor , in speaking of
the action of the General assembly , said :
"Tho Knights of Labor arc to bo congratu
lated upon having secured the services of
Master Workman Powdcrly for another
term. Mr. Powdcrly is acquainted Nvitti
every detail of the management of the
Knights of I/ibor , which is really a great
corporation run on business principles for
the interest of Iho laboring people in gen
eral and us own members in particular. As
master workman Mr. Powderly brings to
that ofliro great executive ability , firmness ,
couracc , foresight and largo experience. Ho
understands the members thoroughly in
every part of the country and is also in
touch -with all otherorganizcd bodies of labor.
Mr. Powderly possesses the confidence of
the fanners' organizations in a great
dcprco i and ho has done much
to bring the workingmcn of the cities and
the farmers into close relationship and a
united brotherhood. Since the union of the
farmers nllianco and the Knights of Labor
the latter organization has won many noted
victories , among which was the wiiteley
Reaper works at Springfield , O. , which years
ago hunp from its wall an immense legend
stating that the Knights of Labor would
never bo vccognl/ed , hue when the organized
farmers took up the light Mr. AVhiteloy
found his occupation pone , and was soon
rushing around to make peace with the
Knights.
"Mr. Powderly has always been an ardent
advocate of harmony and union and it is
afo to predict that before very long there
wlll'bo but ono great head to all the organ
ized labor of America. The Knights of
Labor are , as a rule , a frugal body of men , and
the property possessed by the order and by
different local district assemblies will attest
that fact. By the way n recent decision of the
courts declares that the property or money
of a lapsed local becomes the property of the
general assembly. A test case was made
. whcro a local posscssinp 51,600 lapsed and
Its members tried to divide the money be
tween them ; the case was taken into court
and decided as abovn. Many local assem
blies have fat treasuries and many own
buildings and lands. Some trades assem
blies own their own factories and dozens of
different articles arc manufactured in fac
tories owned by assemblies of this order.
"Tho Knights of Labor , while studying
economic questions , do not neglect to make
the best of existing conditions and other or
ganized oiul unorganized working people.
could well profit bv following the example.
The Knights of Labor do not believe in
etrlkes except as a last resort and their wise
and conservative action has In the past
saved lots of strife. Omaha Knights
liavo perfect conttdcnco in T. V. Pow
dcrly and whllo certain differences
may exist they will not bo allowed to inter
fere with the harmonious conduct of affairs.
James It. Sovereign , who was a candidate
for the office of master workman this year ,
is state master workman of Iowa. Ho is
fitatn labor commissioner of lou-a nmlnr
lloraco Doles and is a strong man in the
labor movement. Should ho bo elected gen
eral master workman some lime in the fu
ture it is safe to say the order would bo
Eccuro in his hands. Ho Is well posted on
labor subjects and a smooth talker. John
"W. Hayes , re-elected secretary-treasurer. Is
nn efficient officer and has the confidence of
the order lu a great degree. Charles H.
Martin of Toledo , O , , was elected general
worthy foreman , lie Is a very active man
and has done much good work lu the up-
buililfiiR of the order In Ohio. The mem
bers of the general executive board arc :
James A. Wright of Canada , John Dovlm of
Now York , Congressman John Davis of Kan
sas and T , II. McGulro of Pennsylvania , all
of whom are active men and stalwart
workcis for the triumph of the principles of
the oidcr. The growth of the Kulghta of
Labor has been general and steady all over
the country the past year. In Canada the
order Is growing rapidly. "
Coulia niul Wultcn.
A few of the leading workers among the
different cooks and waiters organizations of
Omaha held an informal meeting Thursday
evening to provjdo ways and means for
building up their organizations. Tnoy claim
that w'th ' proper organization they will bo
able to make their trade much more desir
able than It Is now and easily do away with
many of the tibuses they are now subject to ,
Some of the members were in favor of form
ing a council of all thu organizations
engaged in their trade , whllo others
maintained that with the Central Labor
union composed of all labor organizations
there \rt\s no need of a separate council.
This idca , prevailed , and after thorough
consideration it was decided to issue a Joint
circular to all the trades unions and Knights
of Labor assemblies In the city asking their
assistance to help build up their trade or-
gaitUatlons.
The members who were present at this
meeting say that if the committees named
by all the iliflorent unions and assemblies in
the city to get up dances will have an agree
ment with the parties who furnish the sup
pers that they must employ union waiters
such an arrangement would help them won
derfully In securing members.
This , they claim , Is perfectly fair and they
will ask their fellow workers to make such
demand upon the persona who furnish sun-
pcrs for union dances. They will also ask
that union incnnatiomzo eating houses where
union cooks and waiters arc employed.
These artists maintain that there la no
cot of workers in the city subject to the
hardships they arc compelled to go through.
They say they have to bo at their worlc very
curly in the morning and Very Into at night
mid tliat , such a thine as tlmo for pleasure is
a perfect stranger to them , qnd added to
their wages are- low , Some of ilia
waiters say that in order to make their
finances como out right they are compelled
to practice the severest economy. Many
cases were mentioned where men and their
wives wore both working as waiters and
then Imrnly making a living. These Ills ,
they claim , can all bo abolished by thorough
organization.

STATEMENT FROM QUEEN LILIUOKALANI
Her Story of tlio , illpvolntlon 111 Honolulu
nml tlio Incident * I.onillnir Up to U
blio DopomM Upon tlio Jil
tlco uf Her Cause.
WASIIISOTONNov. . 0. . The fourth volume
of papers accompanying the Blount report
was given out by tlio Stnto department this
afternoon , consisting of nil the disclosures
inndo by Mr. Dlount lu his dispatches and
his report from Honolulu. It is tlio tcsti-
inony on which Uo bases his report. Numer
ous nnidnvlts bearing on the events of the
clay the provisional government was pro
claimed go to show thnt Minister Stevens
hnd recognized the provisional government
and troops had boon landed before the
queen's forces , under the command of Mar
shal Wilson , nad surrendered to the provi
sional forces.
The statement of T llluoltnlnnl , adds Mr.
lltount , is of especial interest aivl impor
tance. It is a relation of all thu events of
her rolgn. On December 17 , lbO , > , she claims
she received a letter , from a source that she
docs not care to divulge , warning her that
the American roprcstmtatlvcs were at that
tlmo preparing for the annexation of the
islands. She appealed to the British com
missioner and bo advised against her sug
gestion to lay the matter before all the mem
bers of the diplomatic corps. She says :
Statement from tlio Onciii.
"Early in January I mentioned to Captain
Knowelcn of tlio household guards and to
Mr. Wilson , the marshal , my intention to
promulgate a now constitution , and to pre
pare themselves to quell any outbreak from
the opposition. They assured mo that they
would bo ready nnd I pave strict injunctions
of secrecy and showed Mr. Wilson a plan of
the tbrono room on the day of the signing.
"Mr. Parker and Mr. Cornwall hnd given
me assurances of their support before their
appointment as ministers , while Mr. Potcr-
sou understood such was my intention , and ,
although I bad not mentioned It to Mr. Col-
burn , bo had heard of it already from Mr.
Peterson.
"It appears that on their learning ofmy
intentions Air. Colburn , on the morning of
January 14 , immediately acted the part of a
traitor by going to Mr. Hartwell , a lawyer ,
and informing him of my intentions , and , of
course , received Instructions from him to
strongly advise mo to abandon the idea.
This , then , was itho cause of tlio delay.
When the ministers arrived I told them
everything in tlio tbrono room was ready
and the guests were awaiting our presence ;
that \va must not1 Keep them waiting.
She Was Surprised.
"I was surprised wbon tlio cabinet in
formed mo tbnt'tbcy did not think It advisa
ble for mo to take such a step : that there
was dancer of an uprising , etc. 1 told them
I would not have "Undertaken such a step it
they bad not encouraged mo. They had led
mo out to the cdfro of tlio precipice , and now
were leaving me'to take the leap alone. It
was humiliating. I said : 'Why not give
the people the constitution and I will bear tlio
brunt of all the blame afterward. '
'Mr. Peterson said : 'Wo have not read
the constitution.-
" 1 told him ho bad It iu his possession a
wholemonth.i IQie three ministers left Mr.
Park"er to try to dissuade mo ffrom my pur
pose , aud , in the meantime , they all ( Peter
son , Cornwall and Colburn ) went to the gov
ernment building to inform Tburstoii and
bis party of the stand I took. Of course
they were Instructed not to yield.
"Tho ministers returned , and I asked
tbom to read the constitution over. At the
end I asked them what they saw injurious in
it. Mr. Peterson said there were some
points which bo thought were not exactly
suited. I told him that the legislature cotilu
make the amendments. He begged I should
wait two weeks ; in the meantime they
would bo ready to present it to mo. With
these assurances 1 yielded as wo went to the
throne room.
Advised the People to Disperse.
"I tben informed the people assembled
that under the advice ot my ministers I bad
yielded , as they promised that on soiro fu
ture clay I could give them a now constitu
tion. I then asked them to return to their
homes and keep the peaco.
"I beard n commotion below In the yard ,
so 1 hurried to the front veranda nnd from
tbere I addressed the people , saying that
their wishes for a new constitution could
not bo granted just then ; to go homo and
keep the peace and Ho pray for me , which
they have done ever since. "
Referring to tlio landing of the troops , she
said : "Monday , January 10 , at about 5 .
m. , the United States troops were landed by
the order of the United States minister , J.
L. Stevens , in secret understanding with
the revolutionary party. "
The statement of the circumstances at
tending tlio yielding of authority to the pro
visional government aoes not differ from
statements already mado. After detailing
tbn subsequent appeals to the United States
government , sbo says : ' 'President ' Harri
son's term expired and President Cleveland's
inauguration took place and 1 bailed it as a
good omen , aud 1 liavo not been disap
pointed. "

Afllrinntlons nnd Contradictions of tlmt
Kunsiin City Meeting of 1'npiillst * .
TOI'KKA , Nov. 23. The story of an alleged
secret meeting in Kansas City , Kan. , last
nigtit of populists who have banded together
in a movement to turn down the state admin
istration nnd reorganize the party , is re
ceived with derision by the populist leaders
and state officers. They denounce the story
as a fake.
KANSAS CITV , Kan. , Nov. 23. An evening
paper prints' story today of the populist
meeting held yesterday in this city. The
story of yesterday is substantiated and the
following additional details printed :
"Jerry Simpson ts charged bv the faction
that Is loyal to Lovrolling with being the
father of the movement , \V. A. Harris , Sen
ator Peffer and some of the. other members
of congress were represented by friends. It
is the old story in Kansas of a state bouse
'ring1 and a federal ring. The now party ,
according to those who were present , is to
make its stand on the single issue , the free
coinage of silver. All the socialistic , or
semi-socialistic theories which played so im
portant a part in the formation of the popu
list party are to bo thrown aside and the
now party , which is to arise suddenly in an
unexpected place is to bo a silver party ,
nothing more and nothing less. "
"Tho idea , " said a well known populist ,
"is to form a party that will carry the sil
ver states from tlio llrst and unite nil the
friends of silver , regardless of their views
on any other subject. "

Piiii.ADr.i.ruiA , Nov. 23 , T. V. Powderly
resigned his position of general master work
man of the Kulghts of I.aoor this aflcinooii ,
Ho was unable to keep the delegates In the
line ho bad marked out for them , uml this
decisive move seemed the only thing loft for
htm. Immediately after his resignation bo
left the ball , ns ho said , to attend to some
personal business ,
' 1 his step was a surprise to nil the dele
gates , although a few of them said it wns
what ho should have done long ngo. No
nctlou wns taken on the matter , although It
was the topic of discussion which lasted
until the assembly adjourned nt 5 o'clock ,
The causes which led up to the resigna
tion are as follows : After Mr. Powdorly bad
been repeatedly urged by the assembly to
substitute a new list of nnirics for members
of the executive committee bo acquiesced In
thcso demands. The second list wns not
much more favorably received than the first
one , but bo was most persistent In his
efforts to have It accepted. Every point
raised by the master workirian wns stub
bornly fought by his opponents. Still no
result.
Antl-I'owtlcrly Ticket.
In the afternoon the anti-Powdorly faction
began to elect a board that would best suit
them. The llrst man chosen In this way
was II. B , Martin ot district assembly 701 ,
who got a majority of 21 ; .Tames M. Kenny
of district assembly ! )3 got a vote of 23 , ar.d
J. A. McGuIrk of Washington polled 23
votes , n bare majority.
Mr. Powdorly's efforts to have hU slate
considered were all in vain. Ho would not
accent the cominiueemen the delegates bad
elected. Ho declared their elections illegal.
Then the climax came. The defeated
leader suoko with remarkable clearness as
"
ho salti : "Gentlemen , you must cither obey
the spirit of the constitution or declare the
ofllco of general master workman vacant. I
now tender you my resignation. " With thnt
ho loft the hall.
Tonight in an Interview Mr. Powderly
said : "In n day or t\\o I will make a state
ment , but at present I do not feel that I
should do so. "
Nearly all the dclceatcs are suffering irom
severe attacks of cold , and Secretary-Treas
urer Hayes was considered extremely ill
tonight. The beads of both factions arc ,
the.rcfore , practically out of the way for the
tlmo being.
Mr. Sovereign of Iowa nnd McGulro of
New York nro those most prominently
named as Powdcrly's successor. The for
mer is somewhat in the load.
